bgswitcher

A simple TUI to switch backgrounds with ease (only works with awww).

Features:

1. Simple layout and basi controls.
2. Custom names and colortheme tags.

How to use:

Before first use:

Run bgswitcher --remake <ABSOLUTE PATH to you images folder> this will generate the JSON file with all of the data of the images.

To open the tui type bgswitcher or bgswitcher --opentui.

Controls:

Keybind	Action
Up arrow key / Down arrow key	Scroll trough background list.
Enter	Apply background.
Escape / q	Exit app.
I	Modify name of highligted image.
O	Modify colorscheme of highligted image.
W	Write changes to json file.

Overview:

The binary doesn't come with overview configuration, you have to compile it with const DO_OVERVIEW = true. Works if you have a namespace called over. The layer rules have to be set up manually in the niri config. It also can be blured.

Stuff to add:

• Make it support folders for smarter indexing
• Make it customizeable (colors)
• Add images via kitty image protocol (if possible in ratatui)
